Product Overview

The EKS-LM3S8962 is a Stellaris LM3S8962 Ethernet+CAN evaluation kit with Code Composer Studio which provides a compact and versatile evaluation platform for Ethernet + CAN enabled Stellaris ARM Cortex-M3 based microcontrollers. The evaluation kit design highlights the LM3S8962 microcontroller's integrated CAN and 10/100 Ethernet controllers. The kit functions as a complete controller area network (CAN) by providing two boards each with a Stellaris microcontroller. The main evaluation board is the CAN host. A small CAN device board, linked with a ribbon cable, uses a Stellaris LM3S2110 microcontroller. The function of each board is fully configurable in software. Each board has an in circuit debug interface (ICDI) that provides hardware debugging functionality not only for the on board Stellaris devices, but also for any Stellaris microcontroller based target board.
